2004 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

BREAK SIGN APPEARS ON DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. STRANGE NOISES COME FROM BRAKES AND BREAKS DOES NOT APPLY PROPERLY. IT HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN THE PAST AND I PULL OVER SAFELY, TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND TURN THE ENGINE ON BREAK SIGN IS GONE AND BREAKS START WORKING OK. THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN. VERY UNSAFE TO PULL THE CAR ON SIDE OF BUSY HIGHWAY, THEN TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND ON.

I WENT IN TO GET A TRUCK ON JULY 11TH... THEY HAD TO GET THE TRUCK STARTED BY JUMPING THE BATTERY THAT THEY SAID WOULD BE REPLACED. WHILE RUSHING US WITHOUT OFFERING A TEST DRIVE INSURRING THE TRUCK WAS SOUND AND MECHANICALLY STABLE. WE THEN DROVE OFF IN THE 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER. VRD ABS AND BRAKE AS WELL AS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE BRAKES THEN WENT OUT ON US AS WE REACHED OUT HOME. THE NEXT DAY WE INFORMED THEM OF WHAT HAPPENED, THEY SAID IT WAS JUST WATER ON THE BRAKES TO GIVE IT A DAY AND SEE WHAT IT DOES. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND WHEN WE TOOK IT BACK THEY SAID THE MECHANIC WAS GONE TO COME BACK. THATS WHEN WE NOTICED THE CARA REGISTRATION WAS FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE AND STARTED TO WONDER IF THEY HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO EMMISIONS AT ALL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OM SINCE WE LEFT THE LOT. BEFORE OUR FIRST PAYMENT I SPENT $900 ON PARTS HAD ROADSIDE CALLED 4 TIMES AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE TRUCK DIDNT LAST TO THE FIRST PAYMENT. COMPLETELY LOST ALL BRAKING POWER. THIS TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC THAT TOLD US IT WOULD NOT HAVE PASSED EMISSIONS WHEN WE GOT IT BECAUSE THE HISTORY ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHOWED IT WAS ONLY CLEARED AND NOT ADDRESSED.

MY HUSBAND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY RECALLS. TWO DAYS AGO MY HUSBAND WAS GETTING IN THE TRUCK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE DASH BOARD AND A FIRE WAS STARTING. HE IMMEDIATELY RAN IN THE TRUCK STOP STORE AND WAS ABLE TO GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. ANOTHER CUSTOMER UNHOOKED THE BATTERY AS MY HUSBAND DISTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE TRUCK WILL NOT START AND WHEN TRYING TO TEST IT OUT BY RE-ATTACHING THE BATTERY THE SMOKE BEGAN AGAIN. WE ARE NOW WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND HAD TO GET THE TRUCK TOWED HOME.

FRONT RIGHT AXLE POPS OUT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL, BAD C-CLIP. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS NOTED HERE AND AT VARIOUS TITAN FORUMS.

THE BRAKES IN OUR 2004 NISSAN TITAN FAILED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT GOING FAST AND WERE ABLE TO PULL TO THE DIRT ON THE SIDE TO STOP. THERE WAS NO WARNING. WE HAD NO DEFERRED MAINTENANCE ON THE TRUCK. BRAKES WERE MECHANICALLY PERFECT.( TWO MECHANICS VERIFIED THIS ) ONCE WE TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON THE BRAKES WORKED AGAIN. FOUND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN LA FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. CONTACTED NISSAN, THEY DENIED KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. NO HELP. TOWED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DENIED KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS CHRONIC PROBLEM. TURNS OUT ITS A DELTA STROKE SENSOR PART OF THE ABS SYSTEM. NHTSA YOU NEED TO ORDER A RECALL, THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFELY ISSUE. THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE FAILURE. PLEASE PROTECT THE PUBLIC GET THESE TRUCKS OFF THE ROAD AND FIXED BEFORE ONE OF THEM PLOWS INTO YOUR FAMILY. SO SADDENED BY NISSAN, NEVER AGAIN WILL I TRUST THIS COMPANY.

SHACKLE ON RIGHT SIDE PEELED OFF THE FRAME STUD AND DROVE THE SPRING AND SHACKLE ASSEMBLY THROUGH THE TRUCK BED

WENT IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND WAS INFORMED OF A REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN THAT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH NISSAN TITANS AND MORE SPECIFICALLY THE 2004 NISSAN TITANS. *BF *TR
